The adjustable putter shaft, offered exclusively with the Nome<sup>\u2122<\/sup> 405 putter, allows the player to self-adjust the length within a 9-inch range to optimize performance.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt PING, custom fitting is our priority, and with the popularity of belly putters we saw a unique fitting opportunity because shaft length is so critical to performance,\u201d said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman &amp; CEO. \u201cAdjustability is key because the standard 42-inch belly putter fits a narrow range of people. When the shaft is too long or too short, it alters your distance from the ball, your eye position, and the path of your stroke. Adjustability lets you experiment until your posture is comfortable and your eyes are over the ball, which helps you make a consistent stroke and solid impact. We\u2019re pleased to have USGA approval of this easy-to-use, innovative technology. Golfers are going to find it will help improve their putting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Length can be adjusted from 37.5 to 46.5 inches. The player changes the length using a PING adjustment tool that threads into a locking ring on the shaft. Turning the tool loosens the ring, allowing the shaft to slide telescopically. The player then adjusts the shaft to the desired length. Turning the adjustment tool in the opposite direction and removing it locks the ring and secures the shaft so it\u2019s ready for play.<\/p>\n<p>As one more fitting step, the shaft is available in three different bends to match Straight, Slight Arc, and Strong Arc stroke types. This coincides with PING\u2019s Fit for Stroke<sup>\u2122<\/sup> putter-fitting concept.<\/p>\n<p>The Nome model is a timely choice for the adjustable putter shaft. It had a recent PGA Tour win even prior to its official launch. PING Pro Hunter Mahan used a standard-length Nome 355 putter to win the WGC-Accenture Match Play in February. Mahan said the Nome\u2019s alignment aids gave him confidence in his aim. \u201cI felt I could make just about any putt I looked at.\u201d Since the victory, more PING pros have put a Nome putter in their bags. Players are being introduced to the adjustable putter shaft in the Nome 405 putter at this week\u2019s Shell Houston Open.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Product Details &amp; Technical Specifications:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Availability: May 1, 2012<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The lower portion of the shaft is steel, the upper portion beneath the grip is graphite.
